The Chicago newspapers possess the
dash and enterprise characteristic OF
the town, and the readers of their
newsy columns seldom know the details
OF the enterprise exerted in their be-
half. At the time of the Chatsworth
disaster two or three of the papers
chartered special trains and sent their
reporters and stenographers to the
scene, and the description furnished by
the Times was one of the most noticeable
since Horace Whites description of
the great fire, he then being the mana
ger of the Tribune. The other day
when the decision in the ANARCHISTS
case was rendered at Ottawa, the long
document Qwo newspaper pages, or
more) was taken down by short hand.
When the last words left the Clerks
lips, the reporters rushed to the special
trains that were to bear them to Chica-
go, eighty-four miles away. The Trib-
une's train got four minutes start ahead
OF its rival, the Times. and made the
run in two hours and three minutes
being at the end Of the journey twenty
five minutes ahead of the second special,
Thus the important and long looked

The first of the races for the
Americas cup, between the Scotch
cutter Thistle and the American sloop
Volunteer was sailed on. the 9th, over the
inside course Of the New York Yacht club,
as required by the deed of gift governing
the possession of the cup, and the Yankee
sloop Won in fine style. The distance sailed
was thirty-eight miles. There was not
wind enough to start the boats until two
hours after the time announced in the
official programme. When it came it was
light, but there was enough to enable the
yachts to complete the course well within
the time limited lin fact, with two hours to
spare. 1t was just the kind of weather
which admirers Of the Thistle had
predicted would mean victory for the
Scotch boat. 1t was just the sort OF weather
which admirers of the Volunteer most
dreaded. Under these circumstances no.
body would have been surprised had the
Thistle won. Everybody expected at least
a close race. But after the first twenty
minutes it was no race at all. it became a
procession with the Thistle falling further
and further astern. From start to finish
the Thistle stood no chance Of winning. The
Volunteer went over the course in 4h So min.
IS sec. The Thistle's time was 5 b. 10 min.
46 sec. Thus the Thistle was beaten by 10
min. % sec. or, after crediting her with five
seconds time all allowance due her, by 10
min. IL sec.
